Opportunity to join CEE Program Participant Selection Committee

The Community Engagement Exchange (CEE) Program seeks experienced civil society leaders to join the CEE Participant Selection Committee.

Reading Committee Members (Readers) will read and score applications for the 2022-2023 cohort of CEE Fellows from February 11 – March 4, 2022. Readers will read and rank 30-40 applications and provide feedback from the global civil society community, including U.S. community developers, thematic experts, individuals with experience hosting international exchange participants, American and international civil society leaders, and alumni of U.S. Government (USG) programs working in the civil society sector. 

The CEE Program is a year-long program designed to enable civil society leaders, ages 21-28, to harness the power of networks, relationships, and information for the public good, specifically on issues related to civic dialogue and peacebuilding, open and participatory government, women and gender, resilience and sustainable development, and youth engagement.
